Abstract: Tight binding molecular dynamicsand simulated annealingtechniquesareemployed tostudythestructuralpropertiesofsilicon clusterscontaining 2 14 atoms.Itisfoundthatour results for Si2 Si6 agree well with thoseobtained using abinitiotechniques. Further Si cluster re search which givethesignificantprediction hasbeen made.

Key words: tight binding molecular dynamics( TBMD), Sin cluster
